12:02 pm
that you'd like to be first to see what the before report can't be a good fit i'm interested always in the laws and. there should be. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that doesn't mean that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite we've been

through this this isn't the way. human trafficking and first world countries rarely make the headlights hot water is mainly because their trails can often involve the rich and powerful deep institutional corruption and up to today or both and details of crimes that may still refuse to believe he pulled but were still refused to believe take place in our quote unquote civilized societies thankfully there are journalists and authors out there not afraid to report and discuss the trafficking industry in all worlds and one of those is country to sarna who is also the executive director of alliance or rescue victims of trafficking she sat down recently with our own john stone to discuss the issues of human trafficking and some new twists and one of the few
12:04 pm
cases to break through the mainstream wall of silence on first world sex trafficking the jeffrey abstain case take a less. conceded thanks for coming back on it's always a pleasure to interview you and talk about this important issue of human trafficking. so in the case of jeffrey epstein we've come to some new information about his deal with the f.b.i. that was cut over ten years ago now when he was prosecuted really he was accused of dr king in having sex with underage girls many many dozens actually came out but ultimately he was only convicted for one and served just over one year very light sentence for this very powerful man and he tells what has come to light about his deal that he cut with the f.b.i. certainly well sean as you know i broke the story in the daily beast back in two thousand and ten and in march of two thousand and eleven the current secretary of
12:05 pm
labor alex acosta issued a letter to my editor tina brown stating why the prosecution gave mr epstein such a lenient deal given the number of crimes that he committed against underage girls in palm beach and elsewhere and at that time back in two thousand and eleven. mr acosta who was at the time the dean of the florida. law school university law school at florida a university in miami florida stated that he was quote assaulted by mr epstein. defense team and as you know mr epstein hired a barrage of superstar attorneys including alan dershowitz roy bloch kenneth starr gerald lefcourt and many others several others and the team of
12:06 pm
attorneys negotiated his plea deal here in washington d.c. they negotiated at the time we're talking two thousand and seven. with the department of justice. and so according to mr acosta our labor secretary acosta. the penalties that the prosecution that the united states attorney's office wanted to hand mr epstein . were in fact disallowed by the department of justice in washington now it has been it has recently resurfaced and the f.b.i. have released files eight i believe in total containing hundreds of documents many of them of course redacted most of them redacted. and many
12:07 pm
of them containing clippings. stating how this case developed well i think you know in order to have a pictorial view an image of this case statutory rape as you know carries a sentence a minimum sentence of six to seven years in the state of florida there was a law that was passed even though it was inactive in two thousand and five that is the year mr epstein is arrested for the crime the sexual crimes with minors. and it's called jessica's law under this law the penalty for rape with a minor is ten years mr epstein only served thirteen months in a palm beach county jail. and then eighteen months of house arrest while he was in the palm beach county jail he was on
12:08 pm
a work release program which means that he left his private cell in a private building without any inmates. in his surroundings at six in the morning and returned every day at ten o'clock at night and he was allowed to go to his affiliate job correct essentially that's correct a joke sentencing but i mean here is a powerful man he was a hedge fund owner and he had a pretty powerful influential friends including for president clinton prince andrew and others so did we learn that i heard just so that he divulged names to the f.b.i. people this may have actually been complicit with him in these crimes absolutely first of all the feds do not give you that kind of a plea deal unless you're going to give them something and what could you possibly give the feds it certainly wasn't money so it was information if you recall when he was arrested and while he was negotiating his plea deal the economy in our country
12:09 pm
was about to collapse were we were talking about the two thousand and seven financial crisis that brought down lehman brothers as you know and many other banks and so mr epstein as a former employee of bear stearns who by the way was fired right after he became a partner he was at i think i believe he worked at bear stearns for a year he was hired by mr by the late mr ace greenberg. and he was fired on a non reg d. violation which means insider trading and so when he left stearns clearly in a very negative way he gave information to the feds as to how hedge funds operated and that was part of the deal including names of other perhaps pedophiles who were part of his ring one of the victims virginia louise roberts who
12:10 pm
has sued him multiple times even though she has also signed agreements with mr epstein accepting monies. she claims that she had she was forced to have sex as a minor with eight powerful men she does not name or identify the names even though she told one of the attorneys representing the victims that. one of those powerful men was prince andrew the duke of york. she does not identify any other man but she does claim that there were eight powerful men and she was too scared to give the other names so there's there's no indication that the f.b.i. ever actually acted upon the names that were given to them by epstein is there no there is no indication and if there and usually i'm sorry yes going you know and you go ahead and if they had acted they have done nothing because we're now in the
12:11 pm
year two thousand and eighteen this case by the way there are three pending cases there's a florida case which is the c.v.r. case the crimes victims' rights act case against the united states government that is jane doe one and jane doe two verses u.s. government and then there are two cases pending in new york against mr epstein and also against the procurers including glenn maxwell who was recently sued and settled against and settled the case with the victim virginia louise roberts in new york so we have three pending cases and nothing has been done against anyone except of course. mr epstein and that was a minimum sentence were given ok or given that across those now the secretary of labor and the fact is that. we might suspect that the president trump could direct the attorney general's office to know that i should go after some of these people
12:12 pm
named but the problem is the trouble himself has had relationships with him in the past not cleared necessarily if he was involved in any of the underage girls but certainly was friends with epstein so what does that indicate to you about the desire of childhood ministration to actually go after the they had pedophiles well number one given what president trump has signed into law which is the sestak bill it is a bill that goes after website advertisers who promote. and sell the children for not only feed but for sex i.e. sex child sex trafficking so both mr president trump and his daughter missive uncle trump have been very very supportive of this issue and have really done more for this issue i think since the year two thousand when the t.v. p.a. which was the trafficking victims protection act was enacted under president bill clinton nothing was really done even though t.v.
12:13 pm
pay was reauthorized several times it was reauthorized under president clinton after it was in acted and in two thousand and then when it and then it was reauthorized again under president barack obama in two thousand and eight and and now mr trump has issued this very has signed this very very most important law sestak and very few people know about it and i'm actually surprised when i speak to people who are working in the industry and in the field of of child or human trafficking who don't know about the importance of back page as you mentioned earlier has been shut down and seized it was shut down april sixth of this year two thousand and eighteen and the three co-founders were indicted and weirdly enough the case had come forward two years ago and the case
12:14 pm
against call for one of the co-founders had been dismissed which i found you know. unusual and surprising and then they reopened the case and i know that harris. was very much in favor of ensuring that the founders of back page were were prosecuted accordingly so the case is now closed and back page is. shutdown however i understand from different sources that they have opened a new. online service in canada called back. forgive me bed page b p a g e so many of these websites are rerouting the child porn and adult and minor trafficking of children into routers in canada. most often adorned with a high definition picture of
12:15 pm
a body of water animal along like a a single word like added to your success followed by a phrase or definition that's meant to inspire for anyone who's sat at a corporate desk or visited the office of a high school guidance counselor right now i'm sure you've seen the requisite motivational posters well apparently our good friends at the n.s.a. have their room set of motivational posters as you can see thanks to our freedom of information act and the folks working at government out of dot org you to improve the motivational posters that once during the walls of a national security agency during the fifty's sixty's and seventy's take a gander and find good honest government motivation or you know more realistically total paranoia and fear unsettling. good security where your mouth is so there's a little walls of the other back of like the disease is the muslims are very very i
12:16 pm
mean is taking where the people and replacing it with what i want you to go look to look at some of the. secret. this is where the germs clutch. not only are there. a horrible but terrifying and paranoid and they're all coming together all over the group so this is what happens to employees who work with over there one of my heart goes out to them i know what apple is just like the tiger of apollo the drop of water they drown a snake you know. you know if it's hanging out of it already wireless where now your head as our show for you to go and remember every one of those world we are not told that we are loved so i tell you all i love you i robot and having a lot less people watching those hawks out there that the great thing about everybody.
12:17 pm
stein is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos emin believes it was dismissive to me like you know that this is my complicity is something going on the sunday home maybe you know john does. the only palestinians who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision did not look at this. and know it is unfair advantage to have this lady of the muscle that you have i'm going to compete in the gaza machine to do more commitments last time put this all. right. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront
12:18 pm
cation let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. all night. to the kids in complete saying oh boy tonight nobody. can see them no proof of nothing because. it's not. going to. move on which i really. enjoy about the movies because a i'm listening to i'm going to be out in show horses and i must. say
12:19 pm
so i thought a lot of it because i was it was a cause of a few rough somalia which. was. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's me who in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying news just newly to present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep to get pell here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been
12:20 pm
through this this isn't the way. making history with a handshake the leaders of the u.s. and north korea meet for the first time at the summit kim jong un commits to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula while donald trump offer security guarantees there are questions though about what's actually changed at the u.s. end of the deal. or not reducing anything we're not reducing very little bit early for that we have to get things moving the sanctions will remain in effect we will be stopping the war games unless and until we see the. future negotiation is not going along like it should. two days and counting the finishing touches have made before the free for world cup kicks off here in russia and. look forward you know
12:21 pm
it was i want to put an end to this human trafficking which puts thousands of lives of truth. it's a nice new government makes good on campaign promises closing a port to a vessel carrying stricken migrants. to pm here in moscow tuesday the twelfth of june my name is called in by welcome to world news from r.t. international first up the big news out of singapore today deal done the leaders of the u.s. and north korea earlier signed off on what's billed as an historic document of understanding and pledge to meet again many many more times a closer look at the text of the document reveals that donald trump committed to provide security guarantees to north korea kim jong un pledged to work towards the denuclearization of the korean peninsula here's what they had to say at the signing situation that we have developed a very special bond. north korea best not
12:22 pm
make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury and have. out there shooting rockets all over the place you will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is a sick puppy frightened dog barks louder i will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged us daughter with fire. this is true is proven over and over again and can indeed become friends but both very honored to sign the document thank you. so the day we had an historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind were very proud of what took place today it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you.
12:23 pm
of course all this is quite a change in tone from what we were hearing just a couple of months ago can germany even speculated that people could think the meeting a form of fantasy from a siphon movie despite the two seeming to get on well kim did look a little taken aback with one of president trump's jokes. everybody's so nice and really. well after all that donald trump wrapped up the summit in singapore with an hour long news briefing and breaks down for us now the historic declaration and the u.s. president's statement they've agreed to four basic points that were in the document
12:24 pm
that was signed by the president the united states and the leader of north korea first they agreed to a new u.s. d.p. r. k. relationship a new relationship. between the two countries further secondly they agreed to a lasting stable peace and working toward to a facilitating a lasting stable peace on the korean peninsula they agreed to to a commitment to denuclearization getting rid of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula and finally they did agree to return the bodies of p.o.w.'s missing in action the bodies of american soldiers who had died during the korean war or the bodies of american soldiers in the korean peninsula those are the four points of agreement now speaking at his press conference following the meeting did clarify some things he first of all he said that they will not be lifting the sanctions until until there is a full denuclearization of the peninsula donald trump said he look forward to lifting the sanctions but they will not be lifting the sanctions at the moment
12:25 pm
furthermore trump said they would be stopping the war games the military exercises that north korea has often said are very threatening to them and our century report rehearsing for their destruction these military exercises will be stopped from said that they were very expensive and very provocative and from there we heard some more talk about what would go on on the peninsula itself this is donald trump we're not reduce are going to thing we're not reduced very little bit early for that we have to get things moving the sanctions will remain in effect we will be stopping the war games unless and until we see the the future negotiation is not going along like it should so you saying there that the the number of troops on the korean peninsula will not be reduced at the moment now they are donald trump talks about the previous administrations and their record in dealing with north korea and how difficult it was to make this meeting this historic meeting you know between
12:26 pm
two countries that have been basically at war with each other in a legal sense for the last sixty years how difficult it was to may. this meeting happened this is donald trump talking about previous administrations and the difficulties they proceeded down a path in the past and ultimately as you know nothing got done in one case they took billions of dollars during the clinton regime to billions of dollars and nothing happened that was a terrible thing and he actually brought it up to me i don't think they've ever had the confidence frankly in a president that they have right now for getting things done and having the ability to get things done well there's obviously a huge amount of optimism around the world in the aftermath of this is story meeting however there are different voices asking how optimistic we really should be folks will recalling that donald trump did pull the u.s. out of the historic iran joint plan of action the nuclear deal other people are
12:27 pm
wondering exactly how this denuclearization is going to take place with the sanctions not yet being lifted with the troops remaining on the peninsula so a lot of questions are being raised but at the moment it seems that these two countries have reached historic agreement historic document has been released so many people are optimistic watching the current situation we've heard donald trump speak in singapore he seems optimistic and there apparently will be further meetings in the future there's talk of future meetings between the two heads of state so people are wondering what will happen next but at the moment it seems like the two leaders had a good meeting that they both feel good about and it's the beginning of something good in the world but it's been a roller coaster to get here those talks announced a moment of course but it may kim voiced his anger over military drills between south korea and the u.s. and threaten to call it off then nine days later trump canceled the meeting accusing kim on hostility but the next day the white house i'm pyongyang said
12:28 pm
things were back on track to the first then so washington officially announced that the summit would go ahead if the rule and one of the main points of speech was the promise to stop his country's. war games on the korean peninsula describing them as provocative though the u.s. military is yet to receive an order to actually stop the drills with south korea the pentagon since revealed that to gal who's the director of the china national association of international studies thinks that north korea should be treating the u.s. promises with caution. the lead is let us give hope some chance lead is very very optimistic for what the future may hold however also please allow me to emphasize that the united states does not have a good and solid track record of keeping its promises look at what happened to iraq look at what happened to libya look at what happened to syria look at the fact that the united states are the president decided to walk out of the iran nuclear deal all these are very alarming signs for d.p. r. k.
12:29 pm
and i would not be surprised if they have as allies of the us changes of their position again and again and again very carefully and whatever they agreed to with president donald trump must have been built upon their deep analysis of what if these are the states changes their position for whatever reason and what will be the folly long if for example they completely give of give up the nuclear weapons so i think there is a big mismatch between the united states and d.v.r. care as to what exactly the nuclear issue means and how denuclearization can be achieved on the korean peninsula. there are just two days left before the biggest extravaganza of football kicks off here in russia the twenty eight hundred feet for world cup now most of the teams are already at their host cities where their matches will take place the fans are already out in force.
12:30 pm
on a team of russian artists of found their own way to welcome players they created mosaic paul. football stars lionel messi and mohamed salah it took them two months and sixty kilograms of stone to create their art works we asked the artists about their inspiration but nestled in that way for these are i can so world one of them are still a very sing star this is messy and this is a law which to them because they are the most popular at the moment of course they will not visit us but many fans come here who know them and will be pleased to see them and be photographed next to them with players and fans ready for the first kick.
